A Queens woman allegedly stabbed her elderly mom to death in a Thanksgiving Eve attack on Long Island – and eerily claimed that she “never had a mother” after her arrest, according to cops and a report.

Diana Bekatoros, 51, is accused of knifing 84-year-old Josephine Bekatoros just after 9 p.m. Wednesday inside the older woman’s home on the tree-lined Carman Court in Dix Hills, Suffolk County Police said.

“I never had a mother,” the arrested woman, seen with her hands shackled, told a Newsday photographer outside the Fourth Precinct stationhouse in Hauppage Thursday when asked her if she had killed her mother.

“Are you my mother?” she bizarrely added, according to the report. 

“I don’t even know what you are talking about,” Bekatoros reportedly replied when questioned a second time. 

Bekatoros was arrested at her home on Center Boulevard in Long Island City. She was charged with second-degree murder and ordered held without bail during her Thanksgiving Day arraignment, according to cops and online records. 

Neighbor Helene Glodowski, 74, told Newsday that the deadly stabbing left her “shocked.” 

“I can’t believe it,” added Glodowski, who said she had lived across from Josephine Bekatoros and her husband, Dennis Bekatoros, since 1989.

Diana used to live with her parents as well – and despite moving out about 15 years ago, appeared to have a “mother-daughter friends” relationship with her mom, Glodowski said.

Josephine and Dennis had a small dog, and a son, daughter-in-law and granddaughter who now live in Nassau County, Glodowski told the outlet.  

Josephine was always “meticulously dressed” and “very careful with her appearance,” the neighbor added.

“She was a lovely lady,” Glodowski told Newsday. “It seemed like she got along with everyone.”

Bekatoros’ attorney, Daniel Russo, did not immediately return a call for comment Friday.
